Student allowance question
Hi sorry I know this is probably a stupid question but how do I survive on student allowance 😅. Im a full time bSc student living with my parents (receiving $286.35 weekly), I pay my parents $185 rent a week to stay with them. Im struggling to afford groceries, regular gp appointments (necessary), and transport (i try to cycle).
Also partly my problem as I am fairly active, (1-2 hrs daily) so the food struggle is hitting hard at the moment. I am hesitant to stop exercising as it is very beneficial to my mental health.
Is there anything I can do other than just keep applying for part time jobs?
Apologies for any mistakes this is me rambling at 2.30am unable to sleep.
